Security: Unmasking of passwords

Reported by vaib1...@gmail.com, Nov 29 2017 
Hi, just found a major bug in chrome Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit). It seems that if anyone has access to your laptop/pc and you have saved your password in chrome can view the password behind the bullets using a very simple method. I have attached the screenshots.
Just select the hidden password, right click and inspect it. Simply change the "password" in "type=" to "text".
